The 5EAT and 5MT have their own pluses and minuses. If you like Autos, the 5EAT box will be good for you, if you are a manual driver like myself, it should be a good ratio set overall. Drive what you'd rather prefer. In my daily driver I want nothing less than a true manual, sportshift won't cut it. But that's just me. I like the feel of a manual, no auto can change that for me, not even SMG.

There is something nice about being able to move the shifter through the gate.
